I LOVE today's pilates exercise of the day... It is such a nice hamstring stretch and feels good on my spine but if you have a slipped disc please do not try this one.
Starting Position:
Lie on your back, back nicely imprinted into the mat with your legs straight at 45' and arms by your sides.
Movement:
Inhale: Take your legs up to 90'
Exhale: Take your legs up and over that they are parallel to the floor
Inhale: Flew your feet and Separate your feet that they are shoulder distance apart and drop your toes down onto the ground
Exhale: Roll all the way down to starting position. As your legs get to 90' take your legs out in a circle meeting together at 45'.
Repeat 6-8 times
Focus:
Hamstrings
Lower back
Abdominals
Aim:
Spinal mobility
Hamstring length
Abdominal strength
Remember:
Keep your spine imprinted and keep your legs straight! Oh yes, and do not do it if you have a slipped disc.
